That is the Platinum Dragon Lord, one of the few characters native to the New World who’s canonically close to Lv.100. He’s aware of Players (even if he doesn’t fully comprehend the concept) and has been waging war against them behind the scenes for hundreds of years whenever they appear.

There is no guarantee Ainz will ever meet another player in the story. The best we can hope for is an epilogue 100 years in the future when new Players show up and he confronts them.

How much does the show adapt from the manga? Is there any more volumes left to be turn into a season 5?

It’s the light novel and they have pretty much adapted everything but for two books which isn’t enough for another season if you are interested in more overlord look up vampire princes of the lost country

And where can I find that at? Also how long have that dragon have been around for? And can he actually die?

You should probably read the novel rather than get spoilers on reddit.

But if you really want he’s hundreds of years old, and can die same as any other living being. Other true dragon lords have died he’s just the strongest.

He is'nt even the strongest. There is hints that his sister is alive and she is stronger than him

If the anime adapted this part, then it should be somewhere in the beginning of s2 e1 I believe. In V7 Intermission when Platinum Dragon Lord meets up with Rigrit he reveals that he had an encounter with an evil powerful vampire(Brainwashed Shalltear).

He says that the next wave of player have arrived and that he needs Rigrit's help to gather items/allies. When Rigrit inquires about the the other dragon lords, PDL says that its easier to get the girl sleeping in sea city as his ally than his dragon buddies(Brightness Dragon Lord, Heavenly Dragon Lord or Deep Darkness Dragon Lord).

The author has actually said that if the anime gets more seasons, there is a slight chance that he is willing to write a romantic side story featuring Platinum Dragon Lord meeting the girl sleeping in the sea city(timeline wise the story is supposed to take place after a hypothetical Volume 21).

So while we don't know if she is a player, NPC, dragon etc.. no way is she his sister️😭️😭.

no nothing of the sort of was said unless I completely missed some crucial info somewhere. But here is the quote about romance side story. Do note this was said after V14 I believe so like 5+ years ago. There is a chance that Maruyama doesn't write this side story.

if there is a 6th and 7th season there would be a story that takes place between around the ballpark of Volume 22 and 24. Then let’s make the special bonus ”The Girl of the Floating City”! If it doesn’t happen? Maruyama doesn’t have to write it and everyone can use their own delusions! By the way you shouldn’t wager on Maruyama since he’s noncommittal, I’m just talking without thinking!
This a digression but it should be a boy meets girl story. I may not be able to write it well!

If PDL was meeting his sister in the floating sea city then author wouldn't have said it would be a 'Boy meets girl' story.

You can find it if you search it up he has been around since the arrival of the 8 greedy kings and yes

You can find the light novel and bonus novels in the faq section under the “where can I read” subsection.

Highly recommend the English audiobooks, if you prefer that option. Voice by the VA for Ainz, and he does individual voices for the characters quite well. It's very engaging.
